Millenials being accused of not pumping out enough babies when we can't even support ourselves

I forget where I heard this stat, but the Earth could support 12 billion people if resources were distributed equitably. But, alas, :gestures broadly:

That's the funny thing to me about this. There's a direct contradiction between the needs of capitalism and the needs of the planet. Infinite growth, overpopulation, it's all grand for $$$

The economy requires growth, but the actual planet requires less people. The only sustainable countries on earth right now are places like Japan, where the economy is crumbling due to the aging population.

Really makes it clear that our artificial systems aren't in sync with our actual needs.
